Procurement, Simplified
Working through an already-established contract means less time spent on paperwork and more time spent on results. Here's what that actually looks like for your organization.
Skip the Procurement Process
Move forward without building a competitive solicitation from scratch. Because we already hold established state and cooperative contracts, you can start your project sooner, without sacrificing compliance or due diligence.
Already Vetted and Approved
Parallel has already been through the procurement, evaluation, and approval process for public sector purchasing. That means less risk and less internal review for your organization before work can begin.
Contracts Built for Your Project
From cabling to security systems to Genetec-specific purchases, our contracts are structured to align with a range of project types, so you can find the purchasing vehicle that actually fits your needs.
One Partner, Two Disciplines
You get a partner who understands both the technology and the procurement environment, simplifying coordination between stakeholders, purchasing, and project execution from the very first conversation.
Reach out to our team with your project details. We'll confirm which contract applies, provide pricing and scope information, and help you process the purchase through your organization's normal procurement channels.
Not necessarily. You may still need internal approvals, quotes, or documentation depending on your organization's purchasing policies and project size. What it removes is the need to run a new competitive solicitation from scratch.
Minnesota state agencies and Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV) members, including many cities, counties, schools, and other public entities, can typically purchase through these contracts. Eligibility can vary, so confirm with our team.
Possibly. Some projects, like a facility needing cabling, access control, and Genetec software, may draw on more than one contract. We can help structure your purchase across the contracts that apply.
